Life
Ladies and Gentlemen, the generation which is now the wane among us may have had its faults but for my part I think it had certain qualities of hospitality, of humour, of humanity, which the new and very serious and hypereducated generation that is growing up around us seems to me to lack. This quote caught my attention in various ways. First it brings up hospitality, which is a polite way to get to know someone and show the manners we've learned. This generation in a way does lack hospitality. Everyone now-a-days take life so seriously and has so much animosity towards one another, allows the anger to build up and loses the relation of humanity. We forget that were human and we make mistakes but those mistakes can be prevented and forgiven.

That quote stuck out to me as well for similar reasons. But, then it brought about the question why? Why does this generation lack hospitality? Why do we take things so seriously? Why do we so greatly lack humanity? It's interesting to think about.
